Nutrition Diagnosis

During nutrition diagnosis, the RDN identifies the nutrition problem, determines the etiology and lists the corresponding signs and symptoms using critical thinking skills to identify and prioritize problems that can most likely be resolved or improved by the RDN. They also evaluate if the etiology or "root cause" can be addressed with a nutrition intervention and select signs and symptoms from assessment data that will indicate if a problem is resolved or improved.
